BigRed
BigRed is a tiny addon that lets you customize your game error messages. Not Lua errors, mind you, but game errors - things like "out of range" and "not enough energy." It offers the following features:

- choose your font!
- move the messages
- adjust the maximum number of messages to show
- adjust the time it takes for the messages to fade out
- adjust the amount of that time they spend fading
- throttle the messages
- set the justification
- adjust the text color color

Finally, clean up those hideous big red lines of text from the middle of your UI!

If you have any suggestions, leave 'em here, but I do not intend to expand the pleasantly limited scope of the addon significantly. Please leave questions, comments, etc. as well.

AUTHORS: The API is now exposed and specified. See spec.html or BigRed.pod for details.

I can check, but I'm not certain the tools are available in either of those addons to check if a message is already listed and flash it again. If you're asking for an addon that simply forwards errors to MSBT, I can write it, but I'm not sure BigRed's functionality can be sent through those frames.

Again, I'll take a look when I get a chance.

Wow. Awesome.

Its simple, to the point, easy to configure, and works. Now I got my error message down, where they don't annoy my focus.

Its such a trivial thing when you think about it, but it does wonder on the feeling of the game. I guess red text right in the middle of the screen got on my nerve after all this time.

So, Thanks a lot!

Makes no sense O.o
I exposed the API again. :]

BigRed is not intended to be used as a message system for other addons. I never imagined anyone intentionally calling AddMessage, but I guess it's not for me to decide what kind of addons you want to write. If there's a significant reason to update (like a bug, or a suggestion, or a memory leak or something) I'll expose the API via the AceAddon table in the global environment.
